Lady D’s still so popular that she might even end up in the Netflix Resident Evil live-action TV show, if its showrunner gets his way, too.

Heisenberg and good ol’ Chris have their own special abilities in Mercenaries Additional Orders as well. Karl – can I call you Karl? – can beat down enemies with his hammer and magnetic attacks, but he can also chuck saw blades and gets the chance to summon his Soldat Jet creations from his factory. The elder Redfield sibling, meanwhile, can use his staggeringly effective punch to knock back baddies and fill his Onslaught gauge. This lets Chris move and reload much quicker. He has the option to call in missile strikes by his buddies in the Hound Wolf Squad as well.
